BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Riveting stories from the Fraser Valley early days told in a "can't put it down" book by Don Waite. The murder of a chief fur trader and the punitive vengeance wreaked by the company launches this can't-put-it-down book of riveting stories. Historian Don Waite also puts on his hiking boots and explores the lost mine of Pitt Lake with the man who claims to have discovered its legendary wealth. He also recounts the exploits of Canada's first train robber, Bill Miner, and the Mountie who brought him in.
